Windows Vista: Go to Start | All Programs to find the software available on Windows Vista computers. On college-administered computers, including those in Elder and Hering labs, software is listed mostly by the vendor. Look for ANSYS under "ANSYS," AutoCAD under "Autodesk," Mathematica under "Wolfram Mathematica." You can still find Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word under Microsoft Office. If you don't know the vendor name, use the search box at the bottom of the start menu; enter the software package you are looking for, then click on the appropriate selection that appears above the search box.
ITS offers Virtual Desktop, a web-based system which allows users to access several software applications from virtually any computer with an Internet connection. Some of the software available using Virtual Desktop includes Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, SPSS, Word, Excel, Access, SAS, and several foreign language applications. (Complete list of applications.) You need the Citrix client to connect to Virtual Desktop; that client has been installed on lab and office computers in SC. Read information about Virtual Desktop including troubleshooting tips and FAQ.
